10 11The First Noel Frosty The Snowman
The First Noel Frosty The Snowman
The angels did say Was a jolly happy soul
Was to certain poor shepherds With a corncob pipe and a button nose
In fields where they lay And two eyes made out of coal
In fields where they
Lay keeping their sheep Frosty the snowman
On a cold winter’s night is a fairy tale they say
That was so deep He was made of snow
But the children know
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel How he came to life one day
Born is the King of Israel
There must have been some magic in
They looked up that old silk hat they found
And saw a star For when they placed it on his head
Shining in the east He began to dance around
Beyond them far
And to the earth O Frosty the snowman
It gave great light Was alive as he could be
And so it continued both day and night And the children say he could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel He led them down the streets of town
Born is the King of Israel Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
And let us all He heard them holler “Stop!”
With one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly lord Frosty the snow man
That hath in heaven and earth of naught Had to hurry on his way
And with his blood mankind hath bought But he waved goodbye saying
“Don’t you cry I’ll be back again some day”
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel
12 13Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree So This Is Christmas
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree So this is Christmas and what have you done?
At the Christmas party hop Another year over, a new one just begun.
Mistletoe hung where you can see And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun,
Every couple tries to stop The near and the dear one
The old and the young
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring A very Merry Christmas
Later we’ll have some pumpkin pie And a happy new year,
And we’ll do some caroling Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear
You will get a sentimental feeling
when you hear Voices singing, let’s be jolly And so this is Christmas
Deck the halls with boughs of holly For weak and for strong,
The rich and the poor ones,
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree The world is so wrong.
Have a happy holiday And so happy Christmas
Everyone dancin’ merrily In the new old-fashioned way for black and for whites,
For the yellow and red ones,
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear Let’s stop all the fight.
Voices singing, let’s be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year
Rockin’ around the Christmas tree Let’s hope it’s a good one
Have a happy holiday Everyone dancin’ merrily Without any fear
In the new old-fashioned way And so this is Christmas

Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear.
A very merry Christmas
And a happy new year

14 15Silent Night
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days, may your days, may your days
Silent night, holy night! Be merry and bright
All is calm, all is bright. And may all your Christmas’ be white
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child.
Holy infant so tender and mild, I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Sleep in heavenly peace, With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
Sleep in heavenly peace
And may all your Christmas’ be white
Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight!
Glories stream from heaven afar;
Heavenly hosts sing Al-le-lu-ia!
Sleigh Ride
Christ the Savior is born!
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring tingle tingling too
Christ the Savior is born!
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling “yoo hoo”
Silent night, holy night!
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Son of God love’s pure light.
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
With dawn of redeeming grace,
Let’s take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
Jesus Lord, at Thy birth
Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy and cozy are we
We’re snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be
Let’s take the road before us and sing a chorus or two
White Christmas Come on, it’s lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
The Christmas Song
And children listen Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
To hear sleigh bells in the snow, oh, the snow
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
I said, I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
And folks dressed up like Eskimos
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
And may all your Christmas’ be white Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
I said, I’m dreaming of a white Christmas Will find it hard to sleep tonight
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
They know that Santa’s on his way
And children listen
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
And every mother’s child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
16 17And so I’m offering this simple phrase Oh, I won’t ask for much this Christmas
To kids from one to ninety-two I won’t even wish for snow
Although it’s been said many times, many ways And I’m just gonna keep on waiting
Merry Christmas to you Underneath the mistletoe
They know that Santa’s on his way
He’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh I won’t make a list and send it
And every mother’s child is gonna spy To the North Pole for Saint Nick
To see if reindeer really know how to fly I won’t even stay awake to
And so I’m offering this simple phrase Hear those magic reindeer click
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it’s been said many times, many ways ‘Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
Merry Christmas You, baby
Merry Christmas Oh, all the lights are shining so brightly everywhere
Merry Christmas to you And the sound of children’s laughter fills the air
All I Want For Christmas Is You And everyone is singing
I don’t want a lot for Christmas I hear those sleigh bells ringing
There is just one thing I need Santa, won’t you bring me the one I really need?
I don’t care about the presents Won’t you please bring my baby to me?
Underneath the Christmas tree
Oh, I don’t want a lot for Christmas
I just want you for my own This is all I’m asking for
More than you could ever know I just wanna see my baby
Make my wish come true Standing right outside my door
All I want for Christmas is you, yeah
Oh, I just want you for my own
I don’t want a lot for Christmas More than you could ever know
There is just one thing I need Make my wish come true
And I don’t care about the presents Baby, all I want for Christmas is you
Underneath the Christmas tree You, baby
I don’t need to hang my stocking All I want for Christmas is you, baby
There upon the fireplace All I want, All I really want is, you baby
Santa Claus won’t make me happy All I want, All I really want is, you baby
With a toy on Christmas Day All I want for Christmas is you, baby
All I want, All I really want is, you baby
I just want you for my own All I want, All I really want is, you baby
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You, baby
18 19I’ll Be Home For Christmas
A pair of Hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots
Is the wish of Barney and Ben
Dolls that’ll talk and will go for a walk
I’ll be home for Christmas
Is the hope of Janice and Jen
You can plan on me
And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
Christmas eve will find me
But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be
Where the love light gleams
On your own front door
I’ll be home for Christmas
Sure, it’s Christmas once more
If only in my dreams
Amazing Grace
I’ll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have some snow and mistletoe
And presents by the tree Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
Christmas eve will find me That saved a wretch like me
Where the love light gleams I once was lost, but now I’m found
I’ll be home for Christmas Was blind, but now I see
If only in my dreams
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
I’ll be home for Christmas And grace my fears relieved
If only in my dreams How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
Christmas The hour I first believed
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten,
it’s glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes that glow
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the holly that will be
On your own front door
20 21Let It Snow
What a bright time, it’s the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell time is a swell time
Oh the weather outside is frightful
To go glidin’ in a one-horse sleigh
But the fire is so delightful
And since we’ve no place to go
Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Jingle around the clock
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin’ feet
Well it doesn’t show signs of stopping
That’s the jingle bell rock
And I’ve brought me some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Let it snow, let it snow
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
Dancin’ and prancin’ in Jingle Bell Square
When we finally kiss goodnight
In the frosty air
How I’ll hate going out in the storm
But if you’ll really hold me tight
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
All the way home I’ll be warm
Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
And the fire is slowly dying
Snowin’ and blowin’ up bushels of fun
And, my dear, we’re still goodbying
Now the jingle hop has begun
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow and snow
Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
When we finally kiss goodnight
Dancin’ and prancin’ in Jingle Bell Square
How I’ll hate going out in the storm
In the frosty air
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I’ll be warm
What a bright time, it’s the right time
Oh the fire is slowly dying
To rock the night away
And, my dear, we’re still goodbying

22 23Away In A Manger The Holy City
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed Last night I lay asleeping
the Little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head There came a dream so fair
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, I stood in old Jerusalem
Beside the temple there
the Little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
I heard the children singing
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, And ever as they sang
Methought the voice of Angels
But Little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
From Heaven in answer rang
I Love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky Methought the voice of Angels
And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh. From Heaven in answer rang
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Lift up you gates and sing
Close by me forever, and love, I pray. Hosanna in the highest
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, Hosanna to your King!”
And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there. And then methought my dream was chang’d
The streets no longer rang
Hush’d were the glad Hosannas
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
The little children sang
The sun grew dark with mystery
The morn was cold and chill
As the shadow of a cross arose
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Upon a lonely hill
Let your heart be light
From now on “Jerusalem, Jerusalem!
Our troubles will be out of sight Hark! How the Angels sing
Have yourself a merry little Christmas Hosanna in the highest
Make the Yule-tide gay Hosanna to your King!”
From now on
And once again the scene was chang’d
Our troubles will be miles away
New earth there seem’d to be
Here we are as in olden days I saw the Holy City
Happy golden days of yore Beside the tideless sea
Faithful friends who are dear to us The light of god was on its streets
Gather near to us once more The gates were open wide
Through the years we all will be together And all who would might enter
If the fates allow And no one was denied
No need of moon or stars by night
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
Or sun to shine by day
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now It was the new Jerusalem
Here we are as in olden days That would not pass away
Happy golden days of yore It was the new Jerusalem
Faithfull friends who are dear to us That would not pass away
Gather near to us once more
Through the years “Jerusalem! Jerusalem
Sing for the night is o’er
We all will be together
Hosanna in the highest
If the fates allow Hosanna for evermore
So hang a shining star upon the highest bough Hosanna in the highest
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now Hosanna for evermore
24 25The Prayer Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
I pray you’ll be our eyes
And watch us where we go You better watch out
And help us to be wise You better not cry
In times when we don’t know You better not pout
I’m telling you why
Let this be our prayer Santa Claus is coming to town
when we lose our way
He’s making a list,
Lead us to a place He’s checking it twice,
Guide us with your grace He’s gonna find out who’s naughty or nice
To a place where we’ll be safe Santa Claus is coming to town
La luce che tu dai He sees you when you’re sleeping
Nel cuore resterà And he knows when you’re awake
E ricordarci che He knows if you’ve been bad or good
Eterna stella sei So be good for goodness sake
Nella mia preghiera
Quanta fede c’è You better watch out!
You better not cry
Lead us to a place You better not pout, I’m telling you why
Guide us with your grace ‘Cause Santa Claus is coming to town
To a place where we’ll be safe
He sees you when you’re sleeping
Sonya mo mundo senza piu violenza And he knows when you’re awake
Yun mondo di guistizia de speranza He knows if you’ve been bad or good
Ognuno di la mano suo vicino So be good for goodness sake
Simbolo di patchi di fraternita
You better watch out!
La forza che ci dà, e il desiderio che You better not cry
Ognuno trovi amor You better not pout, I’m telling you why
Intorno e dentro sé Santa Claus is coming to town
Let this be our prayer You better watch out!
Just like every child You better not cry

26 27Winter Wonderland I’m A Believer
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? I thought love was only true in fairy tales
In the lane, snow is glistening Meant for someone else but not for me
A beautiful sight Love was out to get me
We’re happy tonight That’s the way it seems
Walking in a winter wonderland Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Gone away is the bluebird And then I saw her face
Here to stay is a new bird Now I’m a believer
To sing a love song Not a trace
While we stroll along Of doubt in my mind
Walking in a winter wonderland I’m in love
In the meadow, we can build a snowman I’m a believer, I couldn’t leave her
We’ll pretend that he is Parson Brown If I tried
He’ll say, are you married?
We’ll say, no man I thought love was more or less a given thing
But you can do the job when you’re in town It seems the more I gave the less I got, Oh Yeah
What’s the use in trying
Later on, we’ll conspire All you get is pain
As we dream by the fire When I needed sunshine I got rain
To face unafraid
The plans that we’ve made And then I saw her face
Walking in a winter wonderland Now I’m a believer
Not a trace
In the meadow, we can build a snowman Of doubt in my mind
We’ll pretend that he is Parson Brown I’m in love
He’ll say, are you ready?
We’ll say, no man I believe
But you can do the job when you’re in town
Later on, we’ll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we’ve made
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
